the today's subject is learn and understand cron the preparation so first of all you go to Lan lexicon Doc and download this file download lon.com and download this file Lane and Arabic English lexicon version 3.0 so when you click on this and either you can sign in to Dropbox or just click this button and the file will start downloading depending on your internet speed the file should download within a short time it is just text file and it is slightly less than 30 megabyte so when this file has downloaded then search for visual studio code
and on click on this link and what is whatever is appropriate for you so if you're using Windows 7 8 10 you can use this link otherwise if you're using Mac then you can use this link so use this link and download visual studio code this is the software uh this is a software which will make the things very easy when browsing the lanes lexicon so since I have already downloaded it so I am starting Visual Studio code and and if you have already used the same software to open the same file you can go
to open resent and click that file which you want to open so in order to increase the size of the font you can click control and then plus which repetitively which will increase the size and if you want to so the lines are straight and they don't have any wrap and if you want to wrap you can see that there is a scroll there is horizontal scroll in order to have the line wrap in this text file you just press alt and z and the lines will wrap as you can see now there is no
scroll here at the bottom of the screen so when you have this file you can look at several things for example how you can use this file the introduction which is written by me then preface and the preface which is written by William Edward Lane himself he describes what through what processes he had to go through in order to complete this lexicon he spent almost 30 years in order to uh create this Lex lexicon and when he died it was still not complete so there are several different things in the beginning of after the preface
for example there is a introduction of the abbreviations used in this file which is here so there these are uh different tables after the preface table two is Lex lexicological and grammatical terms different abbreviation used in this file and also Chron chronological name of more celebrated lexicologist and grammarians cited in different part of this work uh their name so for example IB Abbas he died in the year of the flight 68 year of the flight mean the year of migration of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and uh in the same way alur he
lived 67 years and he died in 207 Hijra or year of flight this is what this is how Lane William Edward Lane denotes the year of migration from Makkah to Madina so in the same way the different authors from which William Edward Lane has taken the references for creating this lexicon are all listed here and there are I I think more than 100 so starting from 420 rather 420 to 531 so more than about 110 111 different authors have been considered as a reference in the creation of this lexicon by William Edward Lan so this
is a the world's most comprehensive lexicon up to the extent where William Edward Lane worked and now I will describe that how you can search the words of Quran in this lexic lexicon so in order to do that go to grev dogit hub.io and in this area Chrome with grammar and more either click this link or view detail so this is where you will land depending on so uh this page keeps a track of where you were so if this was where you were last time it will land you on exactly the same place depending
on if you have the Internet history saved within your Brower browser or you have not saved it so if I wanted to go to Surah fatia I will just select Surah FAA from here and it will take me to Surah fatia and the reason for using it that you can use certainly use different translations but the purpose of this uh demonstration is not to promote any translation or any uh T but how we can best understand the Quran by using uh Quran itself so uh the good thing with this is so if I Mouse over
this word the first word in Quran bism it shows me the information about this word the meaning of this word what is the position so this is the word number one word number one and uh ayat number one and and Surah number one the chapter number one and it also shows me that it's a masc masculine word it's a in genitive case and it has been used as is 39 times and the root is sinen m v and this root occurs in Quran for 381 times and the first occurrence of the 39 total last from
the ending so you can immediately see so much information just by m uh putting your mouse on uh on any word so so for example if I put my word uh Mouse on word Allah it shows the information about Allah and in the same way if I put my mouse on word alham so here it shows me the information that ha means D is the root for this word how many times this occurs how many times the total occurrence of this root is so in order to find the meaning of any word in Lane lexicon
you need to know um the root of the word that you're looking for so the word alham the root is Haim Dal and uh when you have a little practice and when you have spent some time you will automatically uh even just by looking at the word you can you will know what is the root for that word but in the beginning uh this is a good start that you have this tool so when you click on this it will open in another page and you will see what happens so what happens is it opens
the Quran in corpus.com Quran dictionary so in Quan dictionary all that information which was summarized here in this box box it is showed in detail all that information what are the different ayat of Quran in which this work word occurs and in what form so you can see all this detail here so this really helps well in understanding that uh this you this word is being used in how many different formats and then we can go to that ayat and see what is said in that ayat and try to understand understand more that how this
word is being used and what are the different um usage of this word in different format so if I copy this root from here and so I just highlighted this and press contrl C in my keyboard and then I come back to Lanes lexicon and press contrl F so when I press contrl F and then I can control V so I now we can see H Dal is here but we want to remove these spaces you see this space and this space so I go to this word the LA the letter the last letter and
